    Entirely normal.

    Hollywood's stereotype of men prancing around being girls with fashion tips is NOT how all gay men are.

    There are many gay men out there who prefer the rough-tough look vs the metrosexual look.

    I remember doing a report for human sexuality on an article titled "hot leather on a saturday night". It turned out to be one man's experiences in a rough gay bar. Men in loafers and drag weren't even allowed in. You had to be dressed like rough men.

    Another good example: John Barrowman from Doctor Who / Torchwood. He's openly gay but he was turned down for a role on Will & Grace because he was told he wasn't "gay enough". They hired a straight man instead because he fit the stereotype.

    I'm gay and drag queens, girlie boys, trannies, and other gender confused guys are a total turn off. I don't hate them, I just don't like them. Sorry.

    I'm gay. I am a MAN. And I want a REAL MAN. What's the point of a girlie boy? I might as well be with a real girl.

    It's normal. I can totally relate to you.

      They're not confused, they just have a different gender orientation than you.

    i consider myself straight/bi-curious. i have some odd attraction to men, but it is seriously only certain types. Girly men, ones who could snap in half, and the stereo-types are not lovers they are interior designers. I have no desire to be attracted to man that is basically a woman with a penis and no boobs.... Manly men have that appeal that just makes me openly admit.... wow.... that guy is ... just... DAMN!

    Is it normal for a male who is attracted to other males to want his males to actually look and act like men? Yes. It's normal. If you wanted your lover to look, act, and be more like a woman, you may as well find an actual woman.

    No one likes a stereotypical anything.

    Sexual orientation, race, religion, nationality, all stereotypes have distinct and extreme negative aspects to them.

    totally normal. i actually find stereotypical gay guys, as a gay guy myself, totally embarassing. when people think gay, they think tranny or something like that and it's not true in all cases. they annoy me too.

    It makes so much sense it's gay!
    You like men, so why would you be attacted to someone that looks and acts like a girl. Then you might as well just be straight.
    Right on fellow human

    LOL that's so funny. It shouldn't even be a question! Who says when you're gay you have to have a preference for the type of guy??

    I'm a hetro male, and honestly I can't stand the stereotypical gay guy. I have gay friends whom I never knew were gay until they told me so, and they're super cool. They too dislike the stereotypical gays they think of them as attention whores.

    I think this is normal. I feel the same way and I know a few gay people who feels the same way

  • I am also straight/bi-curious but the guys who try to act like chicks annoy me. I don't have a hatred of them, but I wish they would just try to act more like a guy. I respect what they are though.

    thats normal man being gay dosent mean u have to include all the gay thing that hollywood show us like being good in decoration, have the hottest girl of the school for friend and a little white chiwawa with a pink ribbon or being that dude on 8 pack dude full of muscles that love to watch boys working on construction.... Im not gay but i hate these stereotype because being gay means ur a boy who love boy nothing more nothing less dosent have anything to do with ur personality

    Of course. We all have different attractions. I am a lesbian yet I could never be interested in a "typical" lesbian female (butch). My girlfriend is feminine and so am I. I am attracted to females because I find people that look like women appealing. If I wanted to date someone who looked like a man I would date a man. However, I understand that not all lesbians follow these same rules of attraction.

    This is normal. A lot of times when a guy says that hes gay, people jump to conclusions thinking that it means he's right away gonna start wearing womens clothing, raising his voice to a higher pitch, painting his nails, etc. When a lot of times thats not how it is. And WhySoSerious is right about them being attention whores. It's like they're not taking their sexuality seriously, and they're attention seekers.

    Most of my gay friends want someone who is "straight-acting". More often than not, they want someone who is actually straight.

    This is completely normal. Being flamboyant is a complete turn-off to me as well. The stereotypical gay guy is just that, a stereotype created by uneducated males who are likely insecure about their own masculinity.

    I know a few gay guys and only one or two of them is stereotypically gay. The rest are not at all and it bugs me as well when people meet one and don't believe he is gay.
